Coming to South Florida?
Bad news: this isn’t New York. You can’t just jump on the subway and magically appear wherever you need to be. In fact, if you’re expecting Miami’s public transportation to work like Manhattan’s, you’re about to have a very educational vacation.
Good news: parking isn’t New York either.
For the price of a Manhattan parking spot, you can rent an entire vehicle. And not just any vehicle—a Jeep.
See, Fort Lauderdale has a lot more to offer than people think. One day you’re cruising Las Olas, hopping between restaurants, cafés, and waterfront bars. The next day you’re headed to the beach. The day after that, maybe you’re exploring the Everglades, the Florida Keys, or one of those places that make you wonder if GPS has completely given up on civilization.
That’s the beauty of having a Jeep in South Florida. You’re not planning your day around transportation. You’re planning your day around whatever sounds fun.
Top down, sun out, beach gear in the back, and absolutely no waiting for a train that may or may not exist.
Welcome to Florida.

Exploring Fort Lauderdale with Your Rental Car
Why the Jeep Helps
The best parts of Fort Lauderdale aren’t concentrated in one place. They’re scattered between beaches, waterways, neighborhoods, marinas, and hidden local favorites. Having a Jeep means you’re free to explore them all without checking train schedules, waiting for rideshares, or wondering how you’re getting home after sunset.
Places You’ll Appreciate Even More With a Jeep
Las Olas Boulevard
Fort Lauderdale’s main street. Restaurants, cafés, galleries, bars, boutiques, people-watching, and enough outdoor patios to make you wonder why anyone eats indoors.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Miles of beautiful coastline, palm-lined promenades, beach bars, and ocean views. Perfect for a quick cruise with the top down before deciding where to stop.
Port Everglades Cruise Port
One of the busiest cruise ports in the world. Even if you’re not boarding a ship, it’s fascinating to watch massive cruise liners and cargo vessels come and go.
Tarpon River
A historic neighborhood filled with old Florida charm, canals, hidden waterfront homes, and quiet streets that feel surprisingly disconnected from the city’s tourist areas.
17th Street Bridge
A local landmark. Climb to the top and you’ll get one of the best views in Fort Lauderdale: marinas, cruise ships, yachts, downtown skyline, and the Intracoastal all in one panorama.
Shooters Waterfront
A Fort Lauderdale institution. Arrive by car, boat, or sheer determination. Great waterfront dining and one of the best places to watch the marine traffic parade by.
Boatyard
Upscale waterfront dining with a distinctly South Florida atmosphere. Equal parts marina culture and social scene.
The Floridian
A local favorite known for late-night comfort food and classic Fort Lauderdale character. The kind of place locals recommend after midnight.
Kelly’s Landing
New England seafood meets South Florida waterfront culture. Casual, authentic, and consistently popular with locals.
Sea Watch on the Ocean
Perched above the beach with sweeping Atlantic views. One of those places where visitors immediately understand why people move to Florida.
Wilton Manors
Colorful, welcoming, energetic, and packed with restaurants, bars, and nightlife. One of South Florida’s most unique neighborhoods.
Flagler Village
Fort Lauderdale’s rapidly growing arts and entertainment district. Murals, breweries, coffee shops, creative spaces, and a younger urban vibe.
The Intracoastal Waterway
Not a single destination but a journey. Drive alongside it and you’ll pass everything from modest fishing boats to yachts worth more than most office buildings.
Fort Lauderdale Marinas District
Known as the Yachting Capital of the World for a reason. If you like boats, this area is essentially a floating car show—except the toys are much more expensive.
But wait, if you’re Jeeping around, there’s even more. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is your urban escape, tucked between the Intracoastal and the ocean. Bonnet House Museum & Gardens? Old Florida meets quirky art, perfect for a detour. And if you’re feeling bold, head west to the Everglades National Park—because that’s where your Jeep truly earns its stripes. Whether it’s beach, bars, bridges, or the wild, Fort Lauderdale’s got it all—and now, so do you.
